POP fans are convinced that one of the biggest bands of the noughties is reuniting.

Eagle-eyed followers spotted that the group Five have wiped their official Instagram account – and uploaded a rather telling post.

Jason “J” Brown has not been part of the band for some time[/caption]

They shared a clip from Euston Station with the lyrics to their best loved song – Keep On Movin’ – running along the ticker board.

It was captioned “27.02.25 Loading…” and included a link to their website.
Fans rushed to speculate about what it might mean, desperate to find out if all five members would be returning.

The original line-up included Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Abz Love and Jason “J” Brown.

And fans now think they could all be back, with one person commenting: “If J comes back this is the best thing to happen since the 5 piece Spice Girls Olympics performance in 2012.”

Another wrote: “Please say you’re ALL getting back together.”

While someone else commented: “We getting a tour with Five of them.”

Others pointed out that all band members have wiped their profiles – in a hint they are all on board.

And fans have also uncovered a new company was created last year – called All Five Ltd – with all five band members listed as directors on Companies House.

The boys split on 27 September 2001, but have reunited several times over the years.

In 2006 they performed without Sean briefly, and then in 2012 tried again – this time with Sean but without J.

Most recently Sean, Ritchie and Scott, performed together again a trio.

J was left gobsmacked as his bandmates accused of him of being a bully when they appeared on The Big Reunion, in 2013

He later hit back, saying: “I thought, ‘I actually can’t believe what I’m hearing and who I’m hearing it from’. I was loud and a bit aggressive at times, and I was physically bigger than them so I can see how that could have been taken a certain way.

“But never in my mind was I so-called bullying people.”

On the show, fans were gobsmacked as the band rowed about their split, with Ritchie raging: “There were two obnoxious people who ruined it for us – Sean and J.”

CORONATION Street star Jodie Prenger has revealed that her character, Glenda Shuttleworth, is set to go to ‘war’ with a brand-new family on the cobbles.

Actress Jodie, 45, teased upcoming drama, saying the new arrivals won’t be making many friends on the Street – and Glenda has already taken issue with them.

Mick and Lou Michaelis are described as “livewires” and “ruffians”[/caption]

Mick and Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty and Joe Layton), described as “livewires” and “ruffians” who will cause chaos and trouble, arrive in town this month.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Jodie said: “We’ve filmed quite a few bits with them and all I’m going to say is they’re great.

“They’re a really good mix and they rile up a lot of people in the soap. There will be quite a few people they don’t get on with.”

When asked if her character Glenda will see eye-to-eye with the new family, Jodie said: “Well… I think Glenda likes to trust her gut a lot of the time and we’ll see. But Glenda doesn’t know if they’re a [bad egg] just yet. She bore a grudge.”

Speaking about her character after her heartbreak, she added: “There are bits coming up but I can’t say, I just want to shake her.

“I love that things go wrong for her because I relate to it in my own life. I love playing Glenda.

“I think the great thing about Glenda and the flip side that Corrie’s always done is tell a the good side to a dark story and I think Glenda has a lot of backstory that she’s never let out and when she does let her wall down she;s quite endearing.” 

Discussing the number of co-stars being suddenly axed, including Corrie legend Helen Worth’s exit, Jodie said: “When you form friendships with someone that’s the sad part and when you realise that the kind of characters you’ve grown up knowing.

“I’m not going to lie, I really did get upset when Helen Worth left because she’s an icon to women across all soaps.”

Last summer, Jodie addressed the future of an iconic family in the show

It came weeks after soap legend Helen Worth announced she would be leaving her role as Gail Platt after an incredible 50 years.

Speaking at the Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) Awards, Jodie was asked about her tenured colleague’s imminent exit.

The actress and singer said she was “really, really gutted” upon hearing the news.

Revealing she and Helen had shared a table in the green room, Jodie added: “She’s lovely and grounded and everything you want a Corrie legend to be.

“It’s a massive, massive loss but she’s one of these iconic women that have paved the way for other women to come and surround her.

“She’ll be a great loss, but I hope we can carry the torch for her.”

Meanwhile, Jodie also addressed speculation that fellow Corrie star Sue Nicholls could follow Helen out of the soap.

Sue, 80, began playing Gail’s mother Audrey Roberts in 1979 and has therefore worked with Helen for almost five decades.

When asked about the theory, Jodie replied: “I think she’ll stay.

“I’d love everyone to have an experience – I know you can buy the Corrie Street tour, but I wish you could buy the Corrie Street green room.

“Just have a cup of tea with them, they’re lovely. Dead normal, dead grounded, no airs, no graces.

“It’s one of those places where you… I don’t know, I expected some divas, but it’s not.

“It’s just a lovely place to be.”

Earlier this month, Helen addressed her exit from the flagship ITV soap in a statement.

She said: “This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world. 

“I made the decision at the start of the year and spoke to the producers who were very kind and understanding. 

“I have been truly blessed to have been given the most incredible scripts week in week out, and to have worked with fantastic actors, directors and a brilliant crew. 

“The past 50 years have flown by and I don’t think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet.”

• Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.

CHRIS SUTTON dismissed Hearts’ penalty claims. James McFadden said it wasn’t a spot-kick and Sky Sports didn’t even ASK Kris Boyd.

But the Scottish FA‘s Key Match Incidents panel HAS ruled on last Sunday’s clash between Jambo James Wilson and Rangers defender Clinton Nsiala.

It wasn’t awarded and Rangers scored 40 seconds later[/caption]

And the independent assessors say the officials at Tynecastle got it WRONG.

The home crowd yelled for a penalty when their young forward tumbled as both he and the Gers defender marking him raced to meet a clipped cross into the box.

Nsiala definitely made contact – of that there was no doubt.

But not enough for John Beaton to take action.

And none it seemed for VAR officials Steven McLean and Graeme Leslie to intervene.

They could have sent the ref to the screen for a second look.

Instead play continued and Rangers countered quickly and SCORED within 40 seconds of the perceived injustice.

Vaclav Cerny‘s goal could have been called back but got the green-light – much to the home side’s anger.

Pundits were unanimous afterwards and didn’t believe there was enough to merit a spot-kick.

They backed the referees’ team.

But the SFA KMI panel say they all got it wrong and Hearts deserved a penalty – although they were split.

Their assessment read: “The panel discussed this decision at length with the majority (3:2) deeming the onfield decision incorrect.

“The majority (3:2) believed that VAR should have intervened and recommended an OFR for a possible penalty kick.”

The group is formed of three independent panel members with established careers within Scottish football – such as coaches, former players and members of the Scottish football media – plus a rep from the league and from the SFA.

But pundits post-match all agreed it wasn’t enough for a penalty.

Speaking on Sky Sports Chris Sutton said: “There has to be sufficient contact for Wilson to hit the deck and I think he tries to buy that one. That’s not a penalty if that’s what you’re asking.”

James McFadden added: “Not for me, no.”

Host Eilidh Barbour didn’t even bother asking ex-Gers hero Kris Boyd.

But Wilson pleaded his innocence and denied playing for the penalty.

He said: “No, I haven’t. I haven’t tried that.

“I’ve legit been knocked off my balance. It’s annoying, but that’s football You’re going to get decisions to go against you and you have to try and bounce back.”

He added: “I feel the shove on my back. It’s put me off balance and got me going to ground.

“I definitely feel the shove on my back. I can’t tell you how much it looks like a penalty, but it felt like a penalty.”

THE billionaire twins who claimed they “invented Facebook” have officially become co-owners of an English non-league side.

American tech moguls Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have finalised a £3.5million investment in eighth tier outfit Real Bedford.

The Winklevoss’ may be best known from the Oscar winning film ‘The Social Network’, where their early role in Facebook was portrayed by Armie Hammer.

The brothers, who unsuccessfully sued Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, have since gone on to found cryptocurrency exchange Gemini and have a net worth of £2.14billion.

Their deal in Real Bedford sees them take a 45 per cent stake in the club to become co-owners.

A deal in principle for their investment was reached and announced in April 2024 after Gemini started its sponsorship in January 2022.

But final documents were only signed on Wednesday after full terms were agreed.

The investment is in cash, not bitcoin, contrary to reports last year, according to Sky Sports.

The identical twins will work alongside chairman and owner Peter McCormack, who is a cryptocurrency podcaster.

The investment will be used for the development of a training centre, the launch of a talent academy and to continue supporting youth football.

McCormack bought Real Bedford – then in the 10th tier and called Bedford FC – in January 2022.

He told the BBC: “The fact the Winklevoss twins are now co-owners is massive.

“They want to be involved in the running of the club and I will do the day-to-day business but we will be speaking regularly.

“This investment is huge for the town of Bedford. The money will be used to help the club pursue its league ambitions.”

Rob Hepburn, a corporate lawyer who advised the Winklevoss’ on their investment, told Sky Sports: “It’s a really exciting time for the lower leagues of football in England.

“We’ve seen the success that Salford City and Wrexham have had with big injections of cash and Real Bedford look set to continue the trend.

“The deal illustrates again the appeal of English football to investors, particularly where there is a media angle to it.”

Away from business, the Winklevoss’ are also known for having competed for the USA in the men’s pair rowing at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

In 2011, the brothers’ claim that Zuckerberg stole their idea while classmates at Harvard University was dismissed in court as a judge ordered them to accept a cash and stock settlement in the platform.

Real Bedford attracts an average of only 300 spectators per game, and the pair hope their investment can help it climb from the eighth tier to the Premier League.

Although that seems like an unrealistic goal, the club are top of the Southern League Division One Central after back-to-back promotions.

The team is in discussions to merge with Bedford Town, which is in the seventh tier.

SIR PAUL McCARTNEY’s fans can expect a Get Back-style documentary chronicling the past two decades of his life.

Charlie Lightening, the filmmaker who has followed The Beatles legend around the world for the past 16 years, has caught huge moments in Paul’s life on camera, including him jamming with Stevie Wonder backstage at the Grammys and meeting Barack Obama.

At the launch of his new film, Standing On The Shoulder Of Kitties, Charlie told me: “There’s enough to make numerous movies or an amazing documentary from it all.

“If you look at Get Back and think about that footage that sat on a shelf somewhere. The stuff that I’ve documented is mind-bending.”

Speaking about working with Paul, Charlie said: “It’s changed my life in so many ways.

“He’s made me better at what I do. He’s helped me and pushed me.

“I’m eternally grateful for the time I’ve had with him. It’s a real family when we tour.

“I definitely don’t take it for granted.

“Also the shows and the places we go and the things we do, we’re looked after.

“You’re with Paul McCartney and that’s extended so people are happy to talk to you and help you.”

The Latina singer is pulling out all the stops on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.

She was forced to cancel a show in Peru last week after falling ill, but on stage in Colombia she was back on top form.

She danced around in a gold mini-dress before changing to red.

Then she “rode” four guys like human motor-cycles, dished out dollar bills featuring her face and brandished two daggers which looked like they had ice for blades.

She will also be announcing shows in the UK – hopefully sooner rather than later.

Nathy leads the charge

AS the music scene witnesses a surge of Hispanic artists whose hits are able to transcend language barriers, Nathy Peluso showed the crowd exactly why she is one of those leading the charge.

The Argentine-Spanish singer, who has collaborated with Christina Aguilera and Karol G, delivered a seamless blend of gritty rap, infectious salsa and raw ballads on the final date of her European tour.

By now, audiences expect nothing but seismic energy from the show-woman, who has amassed more than a billion Spotify streams.

She told the crowd: “Each time I come to London, I leave with a very powerful feeling.”

Her words might have been a patchwork of Spanglish, but it didn’t matter – Nathy’s command of the stage spoke for itself.
